Pokemon: The Origins

ALRIGHT.

so it's no secret that Ciry is a pokemon maniac. If you didn't know, well, now you do. So, it's recently come across my highly reliable website that I stalk like a creeper on Minecraft, that a new anime is going to be produced for the Pokemon franchise.

NOW. Before you groan and be like, "UGH BUT ASH AND PIKACHU ARE SO OVERUSED!" FRET NOT, MY COMPADRES! This new anime, titled (I think tentatively) Pokemon: The Origin, is going to feature the protagonist and rival from the RED AND BLUE (or maybe Firered/Leafgreen. from the screenshots posted, it looks like the latter). Which meaaaaans:

NO ASH!

JUST RED. And Green/Blue (depending on where you are, the name changes. Japan, the "Gary Oak" equivalent rival's name is Green, and the girl is Blue, and in 'Murica, the names are reversed. Don't ask why. prolly shoddy translators).

SO REJOICE MY FELLOW POKENERDS. FOR SALVATION HAS ARRIVED.

Pokemon: The Origin


DID YOU DOUBT ME?

hehe, I'm not into Pokemon, but it looks cool :3 I like all the pictures and whatnot :3

*nerds all over the place*

I haven't seen any more info come out about the Origin series, but I do believe that it's confirmed to be a special. And by special, I think that they mean that it's going to be a separate series from the main anime.

So, let's dissect it. Red gets Charmander, Blue gets Squirtle. It makes me wonder if Green will be included. I certainly hope so, because Bulbasaur is my favorite Kanto starter, and I want that baby to get some srs screen time.

Something that I noticed, though, was that there seemed to be a sort of growth in Red and Blue over the trailer. Like, at the beginning, Red is all shiny eyed and rosy cheeked, and Blue has a sort of youthful confidence to him. But, when you compare it to the short clips where they have their fully evolved starters, it looks like Green has grown up considerably, and Red looks a whole lot less starry eyed and a whole lot more intense. I certainly hope that they show that sort of progression, because character growth is beautiful, and what with Ash being ten for so long...yeah, you get the picture.

YES, YES, YES.

WHY HAVE I NOT HEARD OF THIS SOONER?

I love this new show already! I mean, the growth (I'll admit, while it did bother me, the Ho-oh theory did help explain why Ash is continuously 10) of characters both mentally and physically is awesome, and I love the fact they're bringing back the original Pokemon! It took me a while to like the 5th generation, and even then it's kind of iffy, but the fact we'll see Red, Blue, and Green, not Gary, Ash, and the girl that always follows is just - YESSSSSSSSS!!!!

Totally don't want to start a war, but my baby Charmander beats Bulbasaur any day.

Green hasn't been confirmed yet, unfortunately. ;n;

I think she might, if the game takes a more FireRed/LeafGreen approach. But it's a coin toss. Red does look more like his FireRed/LeafGreen counterpart than he does the Red/Blue protagonist, though, so here's hoping *crosses fingers and sacrifices soul to the gods*

Honestly, I'd like to see a Green in here for once. It's always Red/Blue, but never Red/Green. It'd be definitely interesting!

She had a larger role in the manga, which the show was more or less based off of.

Hahah. Me and a gang of friends put the theme song on in our lecture hall and sang it. It was rather funny.

You excited for the new game?

AM I EXCITED? HECK YES I AM EXCITED

Hahaha. You'll have to tell us all about it when you play it!

(I don't think she's excited at all. )

Circe, be proud, I actually watched all four eps. :3
